If you have your eyes closed at the first 10 minutes this sounds like a real bad violent film of the highest order. In reality it has the ever gorgeous Claire Grogan which always neutralizes any bad vibes.
To be honest it's a Scottish film with the same 5 Scottish actors, howabouts some diversity eh.
The true story of thug Paul Ferris, let's not quite make him a hero Ferris did some terrible things , I'm sure theres some Glaswegians with physical , emotional and psychological scars that are still raw. This film avoids this and kind of puts Ferris on a pedestal above the Law and a " good type " of gangster. It's a shame we didn't see the genuine Paul and his friends after all the Banks are fully portrayed badly.
However with that said its interesting in the main and rather sad to see the lives in one Scotland's biggest cities being so corrupted by crime. Its rarely mentioned passed their borders but Scotland still have huge problems and this film could have been set in 2020 if you had thrown in a few mobile phones and wi-fi.
A good try but needed more content.
